Nah, the car always did it... if I didn't rescue it, it'd have been out in a boneyard for sure. I think the solid motor and trans kept it out of there. My hats off to the builder in Stuggart for this one.
I even had the tires from the wheels broken down to make sure there was no H2O within them to verify this.
I plan to mark the DS reference for sure prior to removal, no sense in losing any balance I have.
Looks like I need to find someone with a lift to borrow for about two hours. Doing this on my back in the garage seems to pose a nice safety hazard I'm not fond of nor spending 2-3 times a long to complete the task.
